Enrique Pena Nieto and his rivals in the presidential race just recently wrapped up their campaigns as the Election Day in Mexico drew nearer. As of June 27, the last day for campaigning, news sources reported that the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) candidate’s support from the voters further increased, giving him a significant lead over his rivals.

Pundits attribute this outpouring of support from majority of Mexico’s voters to the hope that this next government will have more political will and drive to successfully implement projects that will boost the country’s underperforming economy. In addition, there is also a strong belief in the campaigns of its frontrunner to restore the peace that Mexico lost because of the drug gangs running rampant.

Enrique Pena Nieto echoed the thoughts of many Mexican citizens as he said during the last day of campaigning: “We want a country that lives in peace, is calm and is safe.” This is the statement that describes most clearly what many citizens think of the current presidential elections in Mexico. It wants a new government because the previous one, led by members of the National Action Party (PAN), has been judged by the people to be inefficient in dealing with the problems that have been plaguing the country.
With Pena Nieto having a significant lead over his rivals in the election, it seems that Mexico might finally have a fighting chance in remedying the ills of its society with its new leader. The dream of a progressive Mexico seems to be within reach but it all depends on who the people will vote for.
